American Baptist Churches USA - What is the Biennial Mission Summit? Pt. 2

What is the Biennial Mission Summit? Pt. 2 The Office of the General Secretary is excited to continue our six-part video series exploring the heart of the Biennial Mission Summit! In this second installment, Wendy Clemmer, Director of Mission Resource Development, shares why this event is such a significant gathering for American Baptist Churches USA (ABCUSA). As the fifth-largest Christian denomination in the United States, ABCUSA comes together every two years for this powerful time of worship, learning, and fellowship. The Biennial Mission Summit is more than just a conference—it’s a vital space where American Baptists connect, collaborate, and celebrate their shared faith. The dynamic sessions, inspiring speakers, and opportunities for meaningful engagement are just a few aspects of the summit that make this event so special. This video offers a deeper understanding of why the Biennial Mission Summit is a cornerstone event for our community. Stay tuned for next week’s episode, where we’ll hear from James Tran, Senior Accountant, for more about the impact of this gathering. Join us in Omaha, Nebraska from July 3 to July 6, 2025, for an unforgettable experience! Register Now! Fun Fact About Omaha The name Omaha comes from the Omaha tribe, a Native American tribe that continues to live in the area (this is a correction to last week's fun fact where we mistakenly published this part of the fun fact in past tense. We are happy to have been wrong and celebrate the continued legacy of Native Americans in our country). In Native Indian, Omaha means "those treading against the current or wind". The Omaha tribe is still there and thriving! FOLLOW US
